Hi everyone! I am Dee from Buffalo, NY - a very snowy Buffalo right now. I am not a stranger to a Camaro - we had a 67 and loved it. Throughout the years that followed, I never quite saw another one that I truly liked until the newer ones came out! Looking at a dealer ad online really grabbed me and I am going to test drive it tomorrow. It is a 2012 Camaro LS with a 6 speed (yes, I like standards!). I am really excited to look at it and drive it!

This forum is wonderful - I have been reading so many posts! Any advice for me for tomorrow? Anything I should be looking for or looking out for? It is my first time walking into a dealership. I always made private buys before.

Thank you all in advance for your help!

Dee

Did you end up purchasing the Camaro of your dreams? I am sure you had a great time test driving it!

I had a wonderful time test driving it! I kind of feel like I am being toyed with though. Today, the dealer called and left a message on our phone saying he had "Great News for us". I called from work and had to leave him a message. I also had his email address so I emailed him, thanking him for seeing us and for a good experience. The GM then called and left a message asking us to call him back and reiterating that he would like to see us in that car. It sounds like a ploy to get us excited. So I am remaining very cautious in how I deal directly with them. I left a message and I am not going to keep calling to leave messages only to get messages about wonderful news. I think we will just play it calm and see what unfolds.

Maybe I am just being paranoid or just plain suspicious? I haven't dealt with a dealer before, but I have heard nightmare horror stories about them. I checked with a number of my friends about the dealership itself and haven't heard any bad stories about them.

And...it's ours!! They took another $1,000.00 off. My husband paid a good deposit and we will pay the balance when we pick it up on Thursday!! I can't wait!!! I think I will soon know exactly what permagrin means!
